The book explores the nature of Chechen society and Chechen
ethno-psychology, the emergence of Chechen nationalism, and the
predominantly violent relationships between Russia and the Chechens
throughout modern history in order to better explain the most
recent periods of confrontation. It concentrates on the second
Russo-Chechen campaign and subsequent terrorist attacks in Moscow
and Beslan and the spreading of violence throughout the North
Caucasus. The book draws on extensive research and includes an
introduction by Anatol Lieven. This is the first book to assess the
most recent violence in Chechnya in the wider context of cultural,
social and political changes in the North Caucasus and Russia. The
study enlightens such key phenomena for understanding the ongoing
violence as the North Caucasian version of Jihadism, Caucasophobia
and Chechenophobia in contemporary Russia, paying attention to
Moscow's controversial policies of Normalisation in Chechnya. The
author also investigates the situation of Chechen resistance and
the expansion of the conflict into the neighboring areas of the
North Caucasus.
